The atmosphere is very friendly and the guys clearly know their stuff and take their work seriously. They were very helpful in choosing frames, explaining why certain styles worked (or didn’t), and getting me to try things I wouldn’t otherwise have. Proper old fashioned customer service.

A professional and empathetic eye check appointment. All staff were very professional, helpful and patient with my elderly Mum who has dementia. She was calm and focused throughout.
